always be lower than that of his an
cester; for no true Confucian would

however, the lofty title of duke passes
unchanged except when emperor after
emperor adds by royal decree some
new phrase of honor to the name and

tomb of Confucius is a huge mound
overgrown with trees, on the banks of
the River S7e, with carved animals on
each corner ard groves of cypress trees
ranged solemnly around. The relics of
his age, and the rich tributes of worship
paid to him by generation after gener-

gathered into this House of Confucus, "

ing words: We have shut out one

genial, and it only awaits public de-
mand to close, in whole or in part, the

confidential relations of life we demand
of these coming to us, certificates Of
character, and | know of no reason
why we should not demand
the same from those coming to
form part of eur great

bring certificates of character properly
authenticated by our diplomatic or con-
sular officers as to their value and val
idity, to be scrutinized by our national
officers on their entry into the United
States We have now q quarantine sys-
tenn to protect us against physical con =
tagion. Why is it not our duty as well
as our right, TO make a moral and politi-
cal quarantine mandatory, to the end
that men entertaining convictions or
vagaries, a' the case may be, hostile to
our theory of government, anarchial,
nihilistic and destructive of our institu-

The latter was kept from its proper

that many. In due time number ~

Use. This he refused to do, saying that
the whole thing was joke. The
father then went 10 law about it, and
although the promise was only verbal
one, the court not only decided in favor
of number ~, but authorized the plain
tiff to choose whichever one of the de-
PENDANTS houses he liked best.
